Amplified Bible
Ecclesiastes 5:13-17
13There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: riches being kept and hoarded by their owner to his own misery.
14For when those riches are lost in bad investments and he becomes the father of a son, then there is nothing in his hand [for the support of the child].
15As he came naked from his mother’s womb, so he will return as he came; and he will take away nothing from all his labor that he can carry in his hand.
16This also is a grievous evil—exactly as he was born, so he shall die. So what advantage has he who labors for the wind?
17All of his life he also eats in darkness [cheerlessly, without sweetness and light], with great frustration, sickness, and anger.
